Chocolate Caramelized Banana

This is a good little snack if you’re looking for something sweet or even a tasty dessert to serve to family and friends. It takes just a few minutes to make and would also be perfect with a couple of strawberries or a little dairy/dairy-free yoghurt or ice-cream on the side (if tolerated). If you are unable to tolerate butter or ghee you could substitute it with coconut oil.

The serving size is suitable if you’re on the low FODMAP diet and is in line with the Monash Low FODMAP Diet App and the FODMAP Friendly app (at the time of writing).
